Chapel Hill Golf Course in Reading enjoys a scenic backdrop of mature forests. The tucked away locale provides a peacefully secluded setting that is ideal for a round of golf. While it may not seem like a long layout at just under 6,150 yards, you'll soon forget about any lack of length once you get on the golf course. From the very first hole you're confronted with a water hazard, a stream that weaves around five other holes. The layout forces you to think through each hole, making the tough decision between going for it or laying up. Accurate shot placement is crucial throughout the golf course, especially on the back nine where there are several tricky doglegs and tough uneven lies. Mature trees tightly line the fairways at Chapel Hill Golf Course, and the greens are framed with strategically placed bunkers.

Conditions still good

Despite some unusually heavy rain, the course was in good shape and they have done a great job fixing bridges that washed out in severe rain storms. Can't help but wonder if it would be better to ditch the hot top on the cartpaths in some locations, put in a good gravel base, geotextile an then stone dust.....packs well and much easy to repair......not just at this course.....many in the region need to work on their paths.

Lots of Improvements

Chapell Hill has made some great improvements and I was pleasantly surprised on the first outing there in 2019. The site amenities had improved, the course conditions had greatly improved....hole numbering was better and overall it was a great outing. The cart paths need some improvements but I have found that to be true at several other courses as well. Chapell Hill is well worth the trip for those that want to play the game........

Excellent Berks / Lancaster county Golf Destination

Chapel Hill Continues to be a beautiful golf course that plays through a beautiful wooded setting in Berks County. The course is manageable for the novice golfer while still providing challenges for the advanced golfer with its water and woods. The clubhouse staff and management continue to build lasting relationships with customers.

Memorial Day Golf

I enjoyed a nice round of golf on a perfect this past Memorial Day 5/27/19! Chapel Hill is the kind of course that grows on you. It has a mix of nice, very playable holes to challenging but not overly hard holes. Its' the kind of course you have to play a few times to figure out where to hit the ball and how to putt the greens. I will definitely return to Chapel Hill!

Pace of play

Went off as a twosome with a reservation. Watched two singles walk up in a rush to get out ahead. Let them go no problem, by the 4th hole there were 5 singles trailing us. Why why why, would the course not pair them up! Absolutely ridiculous and for that reason I will not play the course again. By the way, we played incredibly fast and played disgusted that the course allowed.

Nice course, horrible cart paths

I played here for the first time last week. I enjoyed it! The course requires every shot in the bag. Nice variety, pretty landscape, and well kept. My greatest complaint is that the cart paths were in horrible condition! And I was there after the rain when it was cart path only. Even yet, I would go back and play here again

Big changes

Lots of improvements already this year, the removal of some of the trees that made for some challenging shots in the past has really opened up the course. Hopefully the weather will cooperate this season and give the course a chance to completely dry out!

Worst conditions I have ever seen.

I’ve played here a couple of times before and the conditions have always been decent for the lower prices. Today was not the case and was beyond the worse conditions I have ever seen. The fairway looked as though it hadn’t been mowed in over a week. You had to search for your ball when it was in the middle of the “fairway”. Totally unacceptable. I understand if they cannot mow due to all the rain but a notice should be posted so you know ahead of time before paying money and teeing off. This will be he last time I ever play here as there are other options that have maintained much better conditions for similar prices in the area.

Extremely slow

Shortly before our scheduled tee time they sent out a scramble with around 5 different groups. Also, they sent another foursome and twosome. The entire front nine played slow. At the turn, they sent out another foursome in front of us on number 10. All in all the course was not in great shape which is understandable because of the amount of rain we have gotten recently. However, there were multiple tee boxes with no grass or only weeds.

Course was ok, no real challenge aside from hitting around the grounds crew. Nothing like waiting on the tee box for 10 minuets so a lawnmower continuing to cut the center of the fairway. On top of that kids with weed eaters driving through while trying to hit. Been looking for a home course to pay for a membership for next season but not really a fan. Will keep looking m.

Greens are very hard, cart path is awful

I only play this course when it’s a good deal. The course is pretty wet from the rain, but yet the greens are still hard as a rock. You got a nice approach shot on the green where you want and it just bounces in the air ,and off the green. Grass was very inconsistent every where on the course. The cart path is just atrocious. Course layout is fine. I wouldn’t spend more than $18 to play here.
